Studies have suggested that B-mode ultrasonography can be used to determine carotid plaque composition and that specific plaque characteristics are associated with a worse clinical outcome. However, histological studies examining the relationship between carotid plaque morphology and clinical outcome have reported conflicting findings. Furthermore, few investigators have described plaque morphology in quantifiable terms. This study examines the association between the volume of carotid plaque constituents and preoperative ischemic neurological symptoms. Constituents examined were chosen based on their potential for identification by current diagnostic imaging modalities such as ultrasound or MRI.
